DRAPER workshop equipment

DRAPER offers this workshop equipment. Some jobs need more than hand tools. The vice holds the part still while you file, saw or strike, the hydraulic press pushes a bearing or a bush with adjustable force, squarely in line, and the drill press drills dead straight.

Why invest in workshop equipment?

The benefits:

• Hydraulic press: the force builds up gradually and stays under control, where a hammer strikes in jolts and knocks the part off-centre.
• Aluminium, copper or rubber jaw protectors: the vice clamps hard without marking a spindle or a machined part.
• Drill press: the bit stays square to the part, so the hole is straight and the right size.

Why choose DRAPER?

Draper is a British family business founded in 1919 by Bert Draper in Kingston upon Thames, based since 1963 in Chandler’s Ford, Hampshire, and run by the family for three generations. Its catalogue lists more than 11,000 hand, power and automotive tools and workshop equipment items.

When should you replace this tool?

Worn vice jaws or torn jaw protectors, a press cylinder that leaks or creeps down on its own, a brush shedding wires, a chuck with play: replace the wear part or have the machine serviced before carrying on.

Cross-Mania tip: Fit aluminium or magnetic jaw protectors on the vice so parts are not marked, fix the machine firmly to the floor or bench and wear safety glasses with a press or a wire brush.
